![]() RMS gives you an indication of the average level and Peak the loudest. Hopefully I’ve not lost you or put you off just yet because trust me there’s some cool stuff coming up!īefore I go any further let’s briefly talk about how Logic’s Loudness Meter reads levels.Īs discussed in previous chapters there are two basic ways to measure audio using the Level Meter, RMS and Peak. So the brains at something called the International Telecommunication Union or ITU scratched their heads and came up with a way to standardise audio across content. With adverts getting ever louder than your favourite TV shows people spent more time grabbing the remote as levels constantly changed between content. Older forms of metering still have a firm relevance in music recording and production, broadcast media though has an Achilles heel and that’s the standardisation of audio levels across content.Īdvertisers, like record labels, loved the loudness war because if their advert could be 2 or 3dBs louder than the advert before which do you think would likely stand out more? PPM, VUdB, dBFS, dBTP with so many ways to measure the strength of audio why do we need another, LUFS? Isn’t it all just a bit too confusing and is it relevant to you? Rather read about the plugin than watch the video? No problem read on □ ![]() In this first part looking at the Loudness Meter I go into more detail about the plugin and some of it’s key components. The loudness meter was introduce to combat that specific problem. Because of the digital limiters ability to get ever louder and most commercial meters inability to read the true loudness of the music a new meter was needed that could read long term average levels of a piece of music so that all broadcast material would be heard by the viewer at the same perceived audio level. Ever watched your favourite show and when the adverts come on they suddenly seem much louder? It’s all to do with limiting and crushing the dynamic range of the music. Logic’s Loudness Meter is really about adding a plugin that will be widely and mainly used by broadcast professionals. I’m sure you’ll wanna get straight to the video so here’s a very quick why this plugin came into being. History of Loudness in brief – really brief! It will help you to judge how loud you music will be heard by your listeners and how loud your music is compared to other tracks in your style. With the release of 10.2.3 Logic released the Loudness Meter, this has been much needed for a long time and is something I personally am very happy to see added to Logic’s huge range of amazing plugins.Īlthough it’s a simple to use plugin there’s a lot to understand and learn about why it’s been added and what it means for you and your music.
